VERY RARE -- Off Road Capable

1985 Ford Econoline E-350 1 ton 4x4

EXTENDED LENGTH AMBULANCE

Collins truck body mfg. w/4" additional lift.

460 (7.5L) big block, heavy duty C-6 automatic, manual locking hubs, divorced transfer case, PS-PB, front & rear A/C

I purchased this ultra cool beast from an AZ mountain community fire department just north of Phoenix (ground pumice used on roads in winter --not salt -- pumice does not corrode metal). Original title is still in the name of the Fire Dept. and has been notarized for release and is ready to transfer to new owner.

All emergency FLASHING LIGHTS - SIRENS - HORNS - BUZZERS - PA SYSTEM - INTERIOR LIGHTS - EXTERIOR LIGHTS - KC FRONT SPOT LIGHTS - everything still connected and STILL WORKING GREAT.

Low miles--only 82,100.

Please see 4 wheel drive transfer case control and dual battery control on floor near driver. Battery controler switches from single to both batteries, or to complete disconnect. Batteries are 6 months old. Heavy duty alternator provides extra charging and running of all lights and equipment. No cracks in dash, NO RUST anywhere in body. Minor paint touch ups here and there but almost no body damage. Please see photos as I've tried to show any and all damage, but it is very hard to see (left front dent & grill chrome delamination at cowl, and rear step). Tires (35"x12.5x16's) are 50% tread at best. I think 37's would fit with no problem. Polished aluminum 16" faux bead lock rims are very nice.

Includes high lift jack and spare tire (see photos). Please note special area behind driver (lockable with key) for spare & high lift jack storage---this seems to confirm story from fire department that this was a special 4x4 only ambulance body equipped for high ground clearance, hence this conversion was performed prior to delivery to fire department when new. I have never seen another 4x4 Econoline set up like this. See letters section below.

Dual fuel tanks, and both tanks and sending units are operational with switch at dash.I added a tow hitch receiver under rear step but this is NOT directly attached to frame. The steps are frame mounted and this setup feels plenty secure, but I would use only for towing small lightweight motorcycle style trailers or similar.

FLAWS THAT I CAN SEE: I can hear an exhaust leak at one side manifold. Some oil drips at various places under motor. Broken plastic at passenger side above rear bench. Linoleum flooring beginning to wear out. Small rip in naugahyde backrest of bench seat in rear. Front driver seat material has a few splitting seams.

No ceiling water stains or any leaking evident from roof extension. This is a very clean and sano rig.

Please note that there is A LOT of interior storage: multiple and various cabinets (doors close tightly and do not rattle), underneath both rear bench and jump seats, and inside spare tire well behind driver. There are numerous interior high intensity lights in ceiling. Hi intensity exterior flood lights at front, rear, and both sides. Sliding interior door is a bit sticky, but all other doors operate smoothly and close tightly.

Interior & exterior power supplies are numerous. There appears to be some oxygen lines and valves still connected here and there, with gauges. Antenna for CB or two way radio still present on roof, with wires running to dash tucked in and out of sight.

This van drives very tight---excellent power and great brakes. Very tight steering too. No rattles inside when driving. This is a really good rig that's a blast to drive. You'll be the only kid on the block with one of these, that's for sure. This is a super cool old-school style 4x4 that's in remarkably good shape.

This would make a great 'bugg-out' van, off road or desert camper van, or mobile motorcycle repair? Still has most of the gurney mounts attached so due to it's low mileage this could still be used as an ambulance as well. There are endless opportunities for the creative mind. This thing is big and TALL. It's almost 9 feet to top of light bar so keep that in mind.

Please remember that this has always been an Arizona Fire Department operated and maintained truck. These guys keep on top of all maintenance issues, so it's safe to assume that this truck has always been well taken care of.

  

My auction rules are simple: PAYMENT via cash in person, personal check, cashiers check, bank wire transfer, etc. Truck does not leave my posession until all purchase funds have cleared my bank. NON-REFUNDABLE PAYPAL DEPOSIT ONLY of $250.00 and I will NOT accept payment of truck in full via Paypal. If deposit is not paid for within 4 days then I will file an unpaid item dispute through ebay, and if truck is not fully paid for within 8 days from end of auction buyer loses their right to the vehicle. I'm happy to make exceptions to these rules as long as we discuss first. So PLEASE, only bid and buy if you fully intend on FOLLOWING THROUGH WITH YOUR PURCHASE.

Is Tesla's next project an F-150 competitor? [w/poll]

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

What's the future look like for Tesla after it launches the Model X CUV and possibly a smaller, sub-Model S sedan? Would you believe a pickup truck? Yes, Tesla could be looking to use its EV know-how to take the fight to Ford and the F-150, based on comments made by company founder Elon Musk.
"If you're trying to replace the most gasoline miles driven, you have to look at what people are buying," Musk said during an impromptu Q&A session following a speech at Business Insider's Ignition conference. "[The F-150 is] the best selling car in America. If people are voting that's their car, then that's the car we have to deliver."
And while the idea of electric pickup may sound kind of absurd to some, Musk makes a very valid point - if Tesla's goal is to replace gas miles with electrical miles, it simply can't afford to ignore pickups.

How Ford made its 2015 Ford Mustang safer for toupee wearers [w/video]

Fri, 28 Feb 2014

Ford is ready to tell the story of its 2015 Mustang Convertible, the can't-miss bits being the easier, quicker and quieter roof operation, a more robust roof build for a coupe-like cabin noise, more trunk space, better visibility and reduced in-cabin buffeting. The top release system has been completely redesigned with a single, center-mounted latch on the windshield frame instead of the dual latches of before. The driver can now release the roof without having to lean over into the passenger space, after which the top goes down fully automatically with the press of a button. Ford doesn't say how long it takes to stow, but it's apparently done in half as much time as before, so figure around 8 seconds.
The roof uses a five-bow structure, with the fabric outer and full inner headliner sandwiching ten millimeters of insulation. Detailing work on the top has eliminated "unsightly folds" in the corners when the roof is up and made it more compact when down; its Z-fold assembly is 6.7 inches lower than before at its highest point when put down. Ford says the new electric drive internals make less noise when in operation, and the fully-finished droptop look is achieved with snap-in caps that flank the rear seating and stow in the trunk when not in use (the outgoing Mustang's top was higher and the front when folded and always looked like it was catching air and creating drag).
The compact roof and newly independent rear suspension setup in back means liberated trunk space, 11.4 cubic feet ready to swallow golf bags and tourist swag. You can read a lot more about it in the press release below, check it out in the short video of running footage and learn about the aerodynamic improvements made to the entire Mustang lineup that decrease drag and increase fuel economy.

Ford of Europe celebrates Mondeo's 20th anniversary

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

Ford's European operations are celebrating a milestone of sorts as the Mondeo, the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter D-segment sedan in the old country, celebrates its 20th anniversary. The mid-sizer, which was sold in the US for a short time as the Contour, has been a far more popular vehicle in Europe - even receiving regular praise from one Jeremy Clarkson.
Narrated by Cockney actor Ray Winstone, the video goes through the Mondeo's years and how it's evolved from 1993 to the as-yet-unreleased fifth-generation model, which is essentially the same as the Ford Fusion that's sold in America. Take a look below for the full video from Ford of Europe.
